What If...

By: Julie Ann Flores

What if tomorrow I died. Whose face would I see cry?
What if the world were to end. Who would be left? Friends?
What if I loved you. Would you feel the same way?
What if the one you love leaves. Would you believe?

What if you saw me smile. Would you want to stay with me for a while?
What if the tears from my eyes were sad. Would you feel bad?
What if you lied just a tiny lie. Would you act like it flew by?
What if I think of you. Would you think of me too?

What if your body was next to mine. Would it feel like a crime?
What if I kissed you. Would I be missed by you?
What if there is too much love. Would the sun shine above?
What if I looked into your eyes. Would I see nothing but lies?

What if you loved me the way I love you. Would it still be you?
What if I cried in front of you. Would you cry, too?
What if I said, "I love you." Would you think it's true?
What if my heart is breaking. Would it be you for whom I'm aching?
What if I kissed you on your cheek. Would you laugh and just not speak?

What if I love everything about you.
Would the space in your heart grow inside you?
Do you feel the love from me?
Well, that's how I planned it to be!
